The Ford Transit is long established name in Europe. Its roots are going back to 1953, when the first generation appeared based on the Ford Taunus platform, but it wasn't until 1965 when the Transit name was used as a brand model, and not a version. It was a good strategy that worked for four generation. Now, it looks like the blue-oval carmaker wants to divide the successful name Transit into a range of different vehicles. The Transit Custom is a smaller version of the big Transit, which became available as a light utility vehicle of up to 5 metric tons, with lot of body variations. The Transit Connect though, it is smaller and it is one of the best vans in its segment.
